Boston Beans - Peggy Lee, Quincy Jones And His Orchestra

I took a trip to Boston

I was feeling in the mood

For a plate of that wonderful famous food

When I got there I had a big shock

Just about as big as a whole city block

They have no beans in Boston

Plenty of fish

Chinese food if that’s your dish

Steaks and chops are a beautiful fair

I couldn’t find any Boston beans there

When Captain John Smith came in 1614

He was the first diplomat that the Indians had seen

If they had Boston Beans than I really wouldn’t know

Got to admit that was a long time ago

No beans in Boston

Plenty of fish

Chinese food if that’s your dish

Steaks and chops are a beautiful fair

I couldn’t find any Boston beans there

And when Paul Revere rode his horse that night

And lit those lanterns before the big fight

He must of been hungry when he got back

Boston beans would of been a beautiful snack

They have some tea leaves left from that well known party

Great museums if your feeling hearty

They have Cambridge and Harvard and MIT

The didn’t have any beans for me

No beans in Boston

Plenty of fish

Chinese food if that’s your dish

Steaks and chops are a beautiful fair

I couldn’t find any Boston beans there

I Love Boston but there’s no beans there
